- You don't.

- To elaborate on this, from what it says in the schema, it appears that the hat will be a promo item for the upcoming TF2 chess set that will be coming out at some point, probably in the near future. Hope that helps. --Omolong (talk) 11:10, 3 October 2013 (PDT)
- Rumor has it, the TF2 chess set comes with a promo code for it. Jsmills99 (talk) 18:36, 19 November 2013 (PST)

New section suggestion
Similarly how we have a section on Ball-Kicking Boots regarding the ball that spawns, I was thinking if we could do something similar here for each different symbol depending on the kill count. Having this table means we don't need to include these pictures on the gallery, and the page will look more clean. We can add a brief description regarding how the killstreak works on this cosmetic... maybe also investigate if assists counts towards the kills (maybe 2 assists equals 1 kill)?. And what about Medic healing a teammate and the teammate kills a lot of enemies, would the Medic Grandmaster level up?
| Number of kills | RED | BLU |
|---|---|---|
| 0 kills |  |
|
| 1 kill |  |
|
| 2 kills |  |
|
| 3 kills |  |
|
| 4 kills |  |
|
| 5 or more kills |  |
|
I don't have the hat to confirm if these kill amounts are correct. I looked it up an image that had each symbol being increased per kill. Sadly the cosmetic is pretty expensive so I'm unable to check that and I doubt this unique mechanic works via itemtest.

- I'd say try via itemtest first, but otherwise

- Well I tested on itemtest, here's some stuff:
- The number of kills information was incorrect, it changes per kill and it stops after 5 kills. Updated the table.
- Medic healing a teammate that kills an enemy will not level up the Grandmaster (no symbol change at the top);
- Assists does not contribute to level up (even 2 assists does not change the symbol);
- It seems that touching the Resupply Locker resets the Grandmaster's symbol, might be a bug.
- But I dunno... itemtest usually only loads the model of the item, and not its stats. I'm surprised the killstreak functionality worked, but I can't tell you that these observations are accurate. - ▪ - 16:37, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
